stranger, and where my UNCONVENTIONAL
relations are not known, and my pro-
fession is unsupported. Although am
a minister of the gospel, 1 am here

in business way, but 1 have kept my
eyes and ears open to see and hear all
the things which transpire in this city's
social, political, and religious life. Es-
pecially have noted the religious pulse
which beats here.
There is no Universalist or Unitarian
organization in this city. There are
people here who claim to be Universal

rians. l learned from the postmaster
that THE UNIvERsALIsT, and also The

respects. 1 find also that they say lit

churches, or stay away from service
altogether. In fact, this is a strongly
orthodox" city in point of church or
ganization. The preachers generally
are hberal-usually non-committal, or
at most nom communicative, on the
subject of eschatology. They work
with zeal to the distinct end of build

THE BLASPHEMY.

A request comes for an editorial ex
PLANTATION of the Blasphemy against the
Holy Ghost, recorded in Matt. xii, 1882,
and also in the parallel passage in Mark
iii, $3.50. The precise character of
this sin is described in the preceding
verses in Matthew, and is distinctly
made known in the last named verse of
Mark. 1t consisted in ascribing the
divine power by which our Lord wrought
his miracles, to an evil spirit,-"Beelze-
bub, the prince of DEVILS" or as Mark
has it, the Pharisees were guilty of this
sin because they said he hath an I'M
clean spirit" 1t is, therefore, not a sin
which can be committed in this age,
but pertained to the early age of the
gospel when Jesus in person ministered
among men. Rev. Z. w. Reynolds
used to affirm that the nearest modern
approach to the blasphemy was in the
Calvinistic system, or that theological
belief which not only ascribes evil to
God in the creation of millions foreor-
dained to eternal torment, but makes
him a devil incarnate in the execution
of his awful purpose. DIR. Adam Clarke
(MethOdist), says in regard TO this sin
MANY sincere people have been griev-
ously troubled with apprehensions that
they had committed the objectionable

HOW CAN THEY9

We often hear "good natured" Uni
versalists say that the old doctrines are
no longer held nor preached, and that,
therefore, it matters not so much
whether we sustain distinctive organ
ization or not; that they think it is
just as well for them to give their at
tendance and their support where most
convenient, without the expense and the
pains that would be required to rear up
and to sustain a church of our own.
But how shallow this is! How indiffer-
ent the observation, and how absurd
the logic on which this conclusion rests,
in view of the plain fact that all the
churches styled orthodox" are govern
ed, manned and run by men who are
pledged to maintain the old creeds.
True, the style of preaching has changed
to some extent, and perhaps the major
ity of pulpits no longer resound with
the warnings Of endless wrath, in as
direct and plain manner as formerly;
but he must be very poor listener
who fails to perceive that in nearly all
the orthodox preaching that we hear,
how much soever the manner may be
softened, the matter is still the same
for the truth of the creed is assumed, if
not sharply stated in all that is said,
and every appeal to the hearer is based
on the assumed truth of the creed.
Ecclesiasticism is exceedingly loath
to yield point once assumed, or to lay
aside weapon that she has become ac-
customed to WELD with great success
in the furtherance of her ends. She
may change her manner, but not her
intent. This is seen with the greatest
clearness in the Mother church; but
careful observation shows the same
thing in all her orthodox" offspring.
The general creed of all is in substance
the same, however variously stated or
mildly presented, and there is no
thought entertained among the rulers"
of abandoning any portion of the sub
stance, or of tolerating in the pulpit
anything for gospel except what is
based on this substance, assuming it to
be throughout the truth of God. There
fore, no matter what the form or style
of preaching, no matter how mildly, or
even sweetly the lines are drawn and
the appeal presented, there is through
all an undercurrent of assumption that
the creed commonly held to be "ortho-
dox" throughout the Romish and Prot
estant world, is the truth, and that
there is no real Christianity except in
the acknowledgment of this assump-
ton. Let any Romish priest or 'ortho-
dox" Protestant clergyman plainly say

FROM the tombs of Or, remarks a re-
cent writer, there has come down to us
the unmistskable evidence that before
the times OF Abrem the ancient race of
Shem believed in the existence of fu-
ture life 1t was an ill-defned idea of
continued being after death. From the
descriptions on cylinders and other mon
uments, it was to be a future somewhat
the same as that more fully described in
the tombs at Ihebes and elsewhere in
Egypt. But with all its Indebtedness it
was positive life beyond the tomb. The
clearer faith of Abram, however, with his
denial of all other gods but the one God,
is not to be attributed to any force in the
religious faith of those among whom he
lived. But when we are asked the solu-
ton Of this mystery, we may say, with
Max Muller, 1--WE are content TO answer
that it was special divine revelation"
SIR SAMUEL BAKER, in his book upon
the exploration of the Nile and Abyssinia,
says: "The conversation of the Arabs is
in the exact style of the Old Testament.
The name of God is coupled with every
trihing incident in life, and they believe
in the continual action of divine special
interposition. Should famine sfflict the
country, it is expressed in the language
of the Bible, the Lord has sent grievous
famine upon the land Should their cat
tie fall sick it is considered to be an af-
Fiction by divine command; or should the
hocks prosper and multiply greatly dur
ing season, the prosperity is attributed
to special interference. Nothing can
happen in the usual routine of daily life
without a direct connection with the
hand OF God, according to the Arabs be-
ief.''
"THE last fifty years." says the Lon don
Times, shave vastly improved the condi-
ton of the poor, but very much still re-
mains to be done before we can permit
ourselves to say that the condition Of the
poor is creditable to the civilization Of
humane and Christian nation. 1t is diff
icult in a secular journal to do more
than touch upon the necessity for moral
and religious improvement, but that is
perennial need which no nation which re-
spects itself should hesitate TO acknowl-
edge. 1t will avail us little to have taken
stock of the last fifty years and found
much to be thankful for if the retrospect
does not grid as up to fresh efforts and
endeavours after higher national IDEAL"
